The Guessing Jug,
ANTHONY POPLAR

James keen's ''Gem' segar store wes
crowded with people on Saturday, lis
tening to the counting of the beans in
his guessing jug. The seal Of the yes
sci was broken at 9.27 a. m., and count
ing commenced Immediately, continu-
ing until 1907. There were just 3,794
beans in the jug.
The presents which are to be given
to the ones guessing nearest are first,
q box of fifty fine segars; second, a
handsome smokers set containing
segars; third, box of twenty-five fine
segars; fourth, folding chair.
The counting was done under the
supervision of Francis P. Riley and
Theodore Woodruff, judges, and in
spector Samuel Hannahs. A. c. War
rem acted as Secretary.
Those who received the prizes were
as follows:-Asher Robbins, 3799; Chas
Holmes, $500; A. Calkins, 3S01; B.

tom in this case, and delivered a very
eloquent address.
The defense was described as follows:
first. Garrison never took cold; second,
if be did take cold it was caused by
the removal OF the chimney; third, he
had had the consumption for many
years. The orator compared at length
the plaintiff and defendant, and re-
cited the proclivities OF Yankees of
which class is the defendant, for TAX
ing care of number one. The evidence
had been to some extent diametrically
opposed; the plaintiff testified under
the shadow of impending death, the
plaintiff was simply defending his
pocket-Oook.
The Judge charged the jury al
length, going over the whole testimony
and explaining its relation and weight.
II Mr.. Durgin recklessly tore OF the
weather-boards without permission he
is guilty Of trespass; but if the sickness
under which the plaintiff now suffers
was directly caused thereby, he should
be compensated to the extend Of plac-
ing in the position he would have &C
cupied, financially, had the causes of
this suit at law not taken place. and
also such sum as to make an example
in future cases.
The next case called was that of
Leverett Newcomb and Sarah J. Far
mer and David J. Farmer. This case
was tried without jury, and took
but a few moments. The defendants
purchased a certain tract Of land in
Vineland. of the plaintiff, for 50, 800,
for which they were TO pay in install
lnents of S200 per year Not finding
the property as represented, payment
was refused, and hence the suit. Mr.
Mitchell asked for /. non-suit on the
grounds that the plaintiff had not
made legal demand Of the defend
ants for possession OF the property.
Non-suit granted.

The usual Winter war on the Chesa-
peake Bay and tributary rivers be
tween the Illegal oyster dredgers and
the police navy has begun. This
Winter number of these illegal dredg-
ers are provided with fast sailing sloops
in which they can sail away from the
vessels of the State Navy. All of the
dredging vessels go around. A few
days ago number of vessels from
Baltimore ran in behind Deals Island
and cast their dredges in the water
near the boundary line etween Som
erset and Dorchester counties. A
State Naval sloop of two guns watched
the dredgers for some time, and then
bore down on them. The latter, how
ever, caught sight of them in time, and
making all sail, skinned out in the
bay in the teeth of Northwest gale,
and soon left behind the police boat.
The State vessel began firing her bow
chaser and sent a number of shots
after the fleeing dredgers, several of
which cut their sails The dredgers
returned the fire and lively booming
was kept up for nearly an hour. So
far as learned, no one on the vessel
was hurt.

THE PICTURE.

A hard worked farmer is thinking
rs he follows his pillow. He has fol-
lowed that pillow for twenty years
and is poor man yet. On one side
is a railroad manager, worth millions,
and every penny of it accumulated
since the war; he has his hand in
that farmers pocket. On the other
side is protected manufactures,
worth millions and he too has his
hand in the farmers pocket. In
front stands the DEMOCRAT crying
out, Look! those men are robbing
you; they are picking your pockets.
The railroad manager and the pro-
tected manufacturer are whispering
in the farmers ear, Don't read the
DEMOCRAT; don't pay attention to
what it says" All around that farm
er are standing the other newspapers
and all the railroad attorneys and
every one of them are telling him,
Don't listen to the DEMOCRAT; don t
read it; pillow your field and let us
manage politics. We are developing

THE BELL TELEPHONE LITIGA-
TON.

The case of the U. S. against the
Bell Telephone Company is be-
ing argued in the U. S. Circuit
Court of Boston. 1t will be recol
lected, the Government brought suit
to annul the patent on the ground
that it was obtained by fraud. 1t
will also be recollected that con-
siderable portion of the metropolitan
press attempted to excite a hue and
cry against the officers of the Gov
eminent because this suit was insti
tuted, but the public soon came to I'M
derstand that the noise in the news
papers was simply the gingling Of
Bells money. 1t will be further re-
collected that the lawyers for the
telephone monopoly deprecated this
litigation as q useless expense be-
cause Bells patent would expire by
limitation in seven years and they
would be able to procrastinate the
litigation for that length of time.
The tactics of Bells attorneys in
the Boston Court are in keeping
with all their previous efforts to
make delay and avoid decision on
the merits. 1t is to be hoped the
counsel for the Government will be
found equal to the occasion. We
take for granted the newspapers will
renew their efforts to mislead public
opinion respecting this matter. If
Bells patent was procured by fraud
it should be annulied and his mo-
nOpOly terminated.

MONOPOLY'S STRONGHOLD
Courier Journal.

"The cry is still they come" and
of Trust Certificates and monopolles
to suppress competition there is no
end. The patriarch monopoly, the
Standard Oil. invented the Trust
Certificates, and this has become
monopoly's universal organ of gen
Grafton. The Standard oil, the Cot
ton Trust, the Cattle Trust, the
Lumber Trust, the Whisky Trust,
the India Rubber Trust-behold
their shadows are darkening the
land. The common law brands
these organizations as oppressive
and unlawful and wholly discounte-
nances them as incapable of living
in the same atmosphere with judi
cial and Legislative honesty and
public intelligence and seif.respect.
Yet behold they come, and do their
will, and disregard the law and
bourgeon apace as if like Indian
corn they had at last found soil in
the United States best suited to the
production Of maximum results.
With the help of their patent double
acting cUltivator, the Trust Certifi-
cate, they ali justly expect large
harvestS.
There can be Of course but one
motive for forming monopolist com
biues-it is necessarily to disable
the rivalry of honest trade, and to
establish sort of feudal despotism
in industry and commerce. What
ever does this is Of course public
enemy. Between monopoly and hon
est trade there is 4 warfare as bitter
and inveterate and necessary as
that between autocrats and popular
liberty in politics. The contest be-
tween monopoly and honest compe
tition is indeed exactly the same as
that between autOcracy and liberty.
1t is the very thing itself; and as its
hand is against every man, against
competing producers for cheapening
production, no more than the mass
of consumers for consumption at
high prices, its hand is against
every man, and yet all are shame
fully submitting.

A REVIVAL OF WAR HATRED.
Springfield Republican.

Mr.. Sherman's speech as a presi-
Dental candidate at Springfield, was
extraordinary in its recurrence to
and dependence upon the revival of
war feeling as a basis for his cam
paign. The war arose from the issue
Of slavery; the war wiped that issue
from the face of the country, altho'
it could not eXtinguish in day all
barbarism, ignorance and hate which
two centuries of slavery had engen-
dered between races and between
sections Yet to-day races and sec
tons are living in perfect accord
with each other. In the last presi-
Dental election three-quarters of 4
million voters went to the polls in
the Southern States and voted for
James G.. Blaine, and their votes
were counted. Never was the South
So tranquil and prosperous as it is
to-day under a Democratic Admin
iStratiOn; never were the rights of
the black man so generally enjoyed
by himself and never so completely
conceded by the white race.
Yet in the face of all this unex-
ampled achievement in the reconcil
iation of sections and races, Mr..
Sherman proposes to base the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1888 on dis
tinct and avowed revival of war ha-
tired, the war having closed twenty
three years before. He seeks in
every way to identify the Democrat
ic party and the National Admins
tration with rebellion; his favorite
term for the party in power is "Con-
federate," and he revives the base.

is political. but the United States
being free of that type is becoming
the chosen land of all the earth for
that other type, which is only one
degree less devilish-the struggle of
monopoly against commercial liber-
ty.
Why of all of the countries of the
world is the United States becoming
the stronghold of monopoly? Is it
because our Legislatures, State and
National, are less intelligent and
impregnable to corruption? Is it
because the courts are relatively de-
ficient in sagacity and honor? Is it
because the people are less watchful
of their rights, less self-reliant and
courageous in defending their
rights, less intelligent in discerning
their rights and injuries?
Answer these conundrums as you
may, the distinction. such as it is, is
ours peculiarly, anu thls is SUM-
cient proof of the existence of spe-
cial fault somewhere Of the very
greatest magnitude. 1t can only be
secondarily in legislation and judi
cature, and it could only arise pri-
marily from a loose or licentious
condition of public opinion.
How does it happen that when the
masses of the people see these devil
fish of trade thus multiplying, and
knowing that they are unlawful, and
knowing that is the only possible
purpose of such combines" to des-
troy honest lprolucers, and extort
artificially high prices from the
great body of the consuming popn-
lation-how happens it, we repeat,
that the American public alone are
perfectly supine and indifferent, and
as submissive as mere serfs?

nan to ponder and answer for him.

A SECRET FROM SIBERIA.
Iron Impervious to Rustic be Made in
Pennsylvania.
Pittsburg Dispatch in New York Trib-
une.

Pittsburg Dispatch in New York Trib-
The initial steps were taken to-
day for constructing a Russia iron
mill at Freeport, a little town about
thirty miles north of this city.
Farley Alden, member of the firm
of w. H. Rogers & Co., who will
build the iron works, said to day:
This will be the first Russia iron.
mill ever built outside of Siberia.
An imitation of Russia iron has been
made in this country for some time,
but not impervious to rust. Imper-
viousness to rust is the best test of
genuine Russia iron. Few persons
imagine what a risk was run in learn
ing the secret of the treatment by
which Russia iron is made. There
are only three people outside of
Russia to-day who know this secret.
They are William Rogers, w. III
Rogers, his son, and Mr.. Nichol, a
nephew of William Rogers. About
eighteen years ago William Rogers
was cent out as Pennsylvania State
Geoloeist to Russia. He had Gre
dentials addressed to Ex-Governor
Curtin, the Minister at st. Peters
burg at that time. AS long as he
confined his explorations to the mines
he attracted little or no suspicion;
but as soon as he set his foot inside
the iron mills of Princess Demidarff
he was subjected to the most vigi-
liant espionage. 1t must be remem-
bered that the men in the mills who
know the secret of making Russia
iron are never allowed to quit the
mills. With the special study he
had made of iron making before go
ing to Russia, he was not long in dis
corning the much coveted secret,
though he had much trouble to
evade suspicion. Had he been detec-
ted he would have been forced to re-
main in Siberia the rest of his life.

solutely no healthful and progress
i've tendency on the part of the Re-

Mr.. Sherman's activity and the ac-
tivity of his friends have already
served to awaken the hostility of
Mr.. Blaine's supporters, and the
best that Mr.. Sherman's own organ,

Sherman but they must not say an
